To add to that, in 2017, Rihanna launched Fenty Beauty. Its popularity instantly skyrocketed because of its inclusivity toward different skin tones and genders. Among the products Fenty Beauty offers, Rihanna swears by the Gloss Bomb collection, particularly these two:

The Gloss Bomb is not only one of the cheapest products in Fenty Beauty, but it’s also one of the most addictive, and looks good on everyone! If you check the Fenty Beauty website, you’ll see that it’s marked as “Rihanna’s fave.”

According to Rihanna’s makeup artist Priscilla Ono, the gloss’s shea butter is what makes it moisturizing and induces its shiny coverage. She revealed that RiRi couldn’t leave home without it!

In love with Cheryl Blossom’s perfect, luscious lips?

Riverdale star Madelaine Petsch is no doubt the scene-stealer of the show as Cheryl unfailingly snags the spotlight every time she appears on the screen. How does she manage to do the perfect crime? Petsch reveals that the formula is a “red lipstick and some sass!”

And the secret to her signature fiery red lip? This lipstick from the vegan company, Lime Crime: Lime Crime Matte Velvetine Lipstick in Red Velvet.

According to Madelaine, she especially loves the brand because the formula doesn’t budge. To achieve a glossy look, she always keeps a lip balm on the set too. Meanwhile, for scenes requiring a muted look, she likes to use a reddish-brown shade. She usually uses either of these two lipsticks:

• Lime Crime Matte Velvetine in Riot
• MAC’s Lip Liner in Spice

In an interview, Petsch reveals, “I actually don’t let makeup artists do my lipstick. I know my own lip line. I feel even they go too much over my lip line or too much under my lip line, and I don’t want my lips to look strange on camera. I’m very particular about my lips.” Talk about dedication!

15) Gwen Stefani

In 2016, she did a collaboration with Urban Decay for a limited edition lipstick collection launch. The matte formula used in all the lipsticks is called Mega Matte, which is “a super-intense matte that lays down a lot of color in one.” Isn’t that exciting?

Gwen was a part of the production from the packaging design to developing the perfect shades that she always wished she owns. The line is ideal if you want to recreate her deadly crimson look. These are the eight-shades from the collection which Stefani herself came up with:
